    Question on lighting (Rocco??)

    What about these 3 lights from Lowes? http://www.lowes.com/lowes/lkn?action=productDetail&productId=87592-13537-ST240RSE8&lpage=none http://www.lowes.com/lowes/lkn?action=productDetail&productId=208484-13537-234SLESW&lpage=none...

    Air line couplers

    The Dynaswivel is aluminum. I haven't had a chance to use it yet, but by looking inside at the size of the hole inside the swivel end (as opposed to the end which actually connects to the tool), there is a considerable reduction in area that air will travel through. I don't know how much of a...

    Air line couplers

    Well, I did some calling around and the Astro Pneumatic folks say it's alright to use on impact tools. Likewise the Matco and I thought the Dynabrade as well. I ordered and just received the Dynaswivel, and while it seems robust enough, it came with the same no percussion warning as the...

    Air hose reel

    Mine is from BendPak/Ranger. Very good quality. They run about $150(just google RH-50PL). I actually got mine from BendPak as compensation for doing some work on my lift myself rather than them having to send someone out to repair it under warranty...

    Air line couplers

    Has anyone been using the Dynabrade swivels? If so, what is your experience with impact tools, specifically impact wrenches? I was also thinking of the Astro Pneumatic version, which specifically says it's okay to use with impact wrenches, but it has a gauge and adjusting knob for pressure...

    Air tool oil or just use Mobil 1?

    Like I said, I wasn't saying that I wanted to use Mobil 1, just that another poster had mentioned that he used it and I was wondering if there were any differences. You must admit, there are many things that are sold as "speciality" items that turn out to be a repackaged item with a different...

    Air tool oil or just use Mobil 1?

    On a recent thread about spray lubricants, "Kingperformance" mentioned that he uses Mobil 1 0 weight oil for his air tools. I was just wondering if there was a difference between air tool oil and any other light weight oil. It's not a cost issue or anything, just a curiosity.

    Spray Lubricants

    Is Mobil One okay to use for air tools? Any advantages or disadvantages compared with tool oil? For general lubrication I use Wurth HHS 2000, PB Blaster for penetrant, WD-40 as a vapor barrier and sometimes a lube that you don't want to attract dust(but you need to apply fairly often).

    Got a proto ratchet... GET ONE!!!

    If the logistics wouldn't be difficult, heck we could get together and bid on the entire lot. Sort of a group buy. Seems like we pretty much have done that anyway....only paid a bit more for them.

    Any creeps.....I mean creepers , out there?

    That's one of those "now why didn't I think of that?" ideas. :headscrat Simple, and looks like it would be effective. And not to mention quite reasonably priced.

    Any creeps.....I mean creepers , out there?

    Ron, good idea with the pad. Seems like it would provide extra comfort. Sack, thanks for the generous offer! Work has been really hectic, so I doubt if I could get there, but maybe if it lightens up some time soon. I see that the Matco and the Lisle look identical. Probably come from the...

    Any creeps.....I mean creepers , out there?

    I use a mid-size scissor lift in my garage and was looking for a good, comfortable creeper. I am a big guy with a bad back, and it is a pain, literally, to slide in and out from under the car. I was looking at several creepers including the bone, and some padded models like this one from...

    Question about the Sam's/Costco tool boxes

    If it has diamond plate in front it is not the box Cstco sells with that item number. The Costco # 161809 is the 41" 17 drwer model here. http://www.cspsmetal.com/products_tc_s0a4117.html

    Forida Pneumatic ratchets. Opinions?

    I am a weekend warrior. The tools will see, I hope, many years of use. I do look for quality in a tool though. Better to buy quality once yhan cheap tools several times. And if I pass them on to my descendants, that's great too! I own tools from both my father and grandfather, and they are...

    Forida Pneumatic ratchets. Opinions?

    I haven't found much, if any, input on Florida Pneumatic tools-specifically 3/8" or 1/4" air ratchets. From their website I see that their products are either US made or from Japan (which I always thoght of as a good thing, as opposed to China or Taiwan). The tools seem quite reasonably...

    Thoughts on IR111?... made in Japan

    Resurrecting this thread since I was looking at 3/8" air ratchets. I've seen mixed reviews on the IR 111 including some here. What is the latest thinking? I was bidding on ebay yesterday for a new one that was sold for $76, just beyond my max bid. Another, used, is currently at $40 (but...
